Guest guest Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 nytnews@... Here is a link to send any comments to about the aticle on fibro. I think it warrants us to bombard them with some realities.

The first question was- Do you believe fibromyalgia exists? Out of 66,313 people who responded, 56% said yes, 24% said no, 20% were not sure. The other question was- Do you know someone who has been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia? Out of 62, 701 people, 85% said yes, 15% said no. So as a result of this poll, it is obvious that many many people know someone who has this disease. So what is the problem, with credibility? The general public believes it is real and knows pts who have it, but still so much doubt. Crazy, isn't it? Kris **************Start the year off right.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 I agree that is really crazy. How can doctors or anyone else say they don't believe when so many people know they have it. Thank God for the doctors who do believe.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Can someone post the link to the article you are talking about? I somehow lost the original post. Don't know how I manage to forget where I put things!
